Default Tyre Sealants

Hi - has anyone out there had any experiences with
1 tyre sealants or
2 had to use the Crossfire kit to seal and inflate a tyre or
3 used something like the Holts Tyre Weld?

Only 2 days before I collect my Crossfire now any info on the above would be useful as never had car without a spare

I have used tyre weld on my motorbikes . they work but the only downside to them is that they make the tyre unrepairable, you could try tyre plugs, which are much better, they work by pushing a big rubber plug into the spot where the puncture is and you just cut to size and it lasts the life of the tyre, you can check on how to do this by looking on youtube,
hopfully you wont need to do it!
good luck with the new wheels, exciting

I would only use the foam as a "get me home" then replace the tyre so not an issue really.
